Then we move from hardcover to paperback and I find a lot of eBooks don't have the price change or if they do, it's still more costly for the eBook then the paperback. <snip>
You have a vote in this great Buckocracy in which we live. Vote with your dollars. Buy from those who don't use DRM. Buy from those who price their books fairly. Buy from independent authors. Buy from BaenBooks, SteveJordan, Cory Doctorow or any others that really support e-books instead of those who are trying to exploit them.
